Townsville Central State School

Townsville Central State School operates in a heritage-listed building complex at Warburton Street, incorporating educational facilities across multiple blocks with tropical architectural elements.

Originally established as the National School in 1869, the institution relocated in 1955 to its current location, which previously served as Townsville's first prison from 1878 to 1891.

The school facilities integrate preserved structures from the colonial era, including quarters designed by architect FDG Stanley, representing Queensland's architectural evolution through different periods.

The educational complex features extensive grounds with mature shade trees, garden beds, and recreational areas designed to accommodate students in North Queensland's tropical climate.

The school buildings incorporate remnants of the original 1878 prison, with former gaoler quarters now serving as administrative spaces within the educational institution.
